PCM edit help for +sized tired and rear o2's

if i post this in the wrong section plz move it for me. (sorry

ok i just had some SS take-off 17x9's put on all four corners. and ive had my new exhaust setup on for quite some time.. my problem is that the check-engine light is on for the rear o2 sensors because they ARENT there and and now my speeddometer and odometer are off and reading wrong because of the +sized tired..

i called autozone and they dont know wtf to do about the tires and told me to get some dummy switches for the rear o2's.. i guess those would be like the !CAG for the skipshift elim business.. anyways im looking for the cheapest fix possible.. i dont want to buy a scan tool or a HPP3/Predator because im getting LS1 Edit in a few months..

help meh plz!

ps. im calling the dealership now to see how badly they will gouge me for this work. and btw they wont STFU about how ive voided my extended 75k warrenty.. GOOD! I DONT CARE!! gawd..

If you are getting ls1 edit save the cash and don't buy o2 simms. You can delete the rear o2's with that program. As far as your speedometer being off.... What size tires did you put on there? If its a 17x9 i'm assuming in the 275/40 range. This shouldn't mess up your speedo at all. a 245/50/16 is just as tall as a 275/40/17. It will take a pretty tall tire to throw off the speedo (ex: large ET streets)

ps- don't take it to the dealer.

yes drew thats exactly what i 'graded too..

stock 16x8 (245/50/16)
to:
SS stock 17x9 (275/40/17)

so i should be ok? my odom/speedom will still read the same?

and i think i will wait and get LS1 edit instead of the simms..

My friend is selling his car and he has ls1 edit. He said he will sell it for $200. Now once you get it, its up to you to pay the $50 owner transer fee, and $200 to add an additional vin.
your investment = $450. before you go thinking thats alot it still saves you $100+ from buying it new.
